Get Yourself Some Deep Dish:
Chicago-style pizza is a deep-dish pizza style developed in Chicago. Chicago-style pizza has a buttery crust up to three inches tall at the edge, slightly higher than the large amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce, acting as a large bowl. The term also refers to “stuffed” pizza, another Chicago style.
While in Chicago most pizzerias serve thin-crust pizza, generally in a style characteristic to the city, the term Chicago-style pizza is used to describe this deep-dish style of pizza. While out there if you have a solid $10 in your pocket, make sure you head out and get a slice that you are sure to remember!

Financial Tip Of The Day:
Stick to the Small Screen
A night for two at the movies can cost you $20 – $30. Throw in dinner and you can easily spend $50 or more for one night of entertainment. Instead, try renting and see how much you save. Better yet, swing by your local library. Many of them carry DVDs that you can rent for nothing more than the cost of a library card. Put the money you save into a savings account – or better yet, use it to pay off loans, credit cards, or other debt.
